About

My current work “Gynoecium” is an ongoing project……a diary of real and imagined objects informed and inspired by the reproductive organs of plants. Close observation of my local environment …..a micro view…. leads to a fascinating world of tiny, intricate and complex things…… the understated and overlooked in hidden spaces and places.

While I use a variety of materials within my arts practice my methodology is consistent, grounded in process with a focus on form and texture underpinned by a fascination with Museology. My current medium of choice is porcelain, which has a beautiful duality…fragility and strength…with an almost bone like quality making it a perfect medium in which to represent my translations of the natural world.
